Primary winding inductor energy storage

What m gnetic devices are used for energy storage?

OR SWITCHING POWER SUPPLIESLloyd H. Dixon, JrThis design procedure applies to m gnetic devices used primarily to store energy. This includes inductors used for filtering in Buck regulators and for energy storage in Boost circuits, and "flyback transformers" (actually inductors with multiple windings} which provide energy storage

What is a secondary winding structure?

The secondary consists of two turns (two layers) of copper strip or foil, 1.3cm wide (full available winding breadth), and 0.13cm thick. There is one secondary layer in each of the two sections of the in-terleaved winding structure.

What is a constant-flux inductor?

The ‘constant-flux’ concept has been described in a recent Letter as a way to utilise space more efficiently for inductor geometry with the core enclosed by winding.

What is mutual inductance?

Mutual inductance (magnetizing inductance) rep-resents energy stored in the finite permeability of the magnetic core and in small gaps where the core halves come together. In the equivalent cir-cuit, mutual inductance appears in parallel with the windings.

Is a filter inductor a true transformer?

r a true transformer, but not for an inductor. The large amount of energy that must be stored in a filter inductor or flyback transformer is in fact stored in an air gap (or other non-magnetic material with Mr = 1) in s

What is a constant flux inductor (CFI)?

The ‘constant-flux’ inductor (CFI) described in [ 8] has the core and windings configured to distribute the flux relatively uniformly in the core to achieve higher energy density than that of the conventional toroidal inductor. Contrasted with the inductor in [ 8 ], the CFI introduced here has the core enclosing the winding.
